About Something

  • My name is Mike. I love being a stay-at-home parent because, most of the time, I have no idea what I'm doing. Each day, I'm learning something new, I think (or I hope).

    >> Why do penguins stink?
    >> Cough, colds and the dentist
    >> Separation Anxiety?

    I also Twitter. Sign-up or follow me to read what I am doing—or thinking—in 140 characters or less. It'll be fun.

Helping kids learn left from right

My 4-year old loves to navigate when I drive the family van. But he sometimes gets confused with his left and right.

So I try to help him.

I drive. My wife sits in the front passenger seat. My 4-year old sits behind me while my 2-year old sits behind my wife.

“Daddy is on the left,” I tell my 4-year old. “Mommy is always right.”


Do you have a tip or question about parenting? Let me know. I might not be able to answer it, but other parents will.

I'm loving the art work and parenting advice. I'm just beginning to get into photography myself, and find great joy in it. It's refreshing to see a dad taking such an interest in his children.

since both my girls are right-handed ... i tell them they write with their right hand ... sometimes it still takes a moment, but they figure it out.
